Patient's question:
Boy, already 3 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and he has had a slight fever all along. Please ask: What should be noted in diet for children with tonsillitis and redness/swelling?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment for tonsillitis, the daily diet should primarily focus on light foods. You can consume more vegetables and fruits. In addition to being light and non-irritating, these foods are also rich in nutrients, which helps in resisting the disease. Fruits like pears and apples, for example, have the effects of clearing heat and reducing inflammation, so you can eat more of them. It is also important to choose easily digestible foods for the child, such as porridge, well-cooked noodles, and noodle skins. Additionally, make sure to drink plenty of plain water and eat less "heating" foods like beef, lamb, and dog meat. Seafood is best consumed in moderation or avoided altogether. Finally, it is essential to help the child develop good eating habits, avoiding pickiness and food preferences, to ensure a balanced diet and reduce the incidence of tonsillitis.
